1 And this is the law of the offering for wrongdoing: it is most holy.
1
The following are the regulations for repayment offerings, which are very holy.
2 They are to put to death the offering for wrongdoing in the same place as the burned offering; and the priest is to put the blood on and round the altar.
2
The animal for this offering is to be killed on the north side of the altar, where the animals for the burnt offerings are killed, and its blood is to be thrown against all four sides of the altar.
3 And all the fat of it, the fat tail and the fat covering the inside parts, is to be given as an offering.
3
All of its fat shall be removed and offered on the altar: the fat tail, the fat covering the internal organs,
4 And the two kidneys, and the fat on them, which is by the top of the legs, and the fat joining the liver and the kidneys, he is to take away:
4
the kidneys and the fat on them, and the best part of the liver.
5 They are to be burned by the priest on the altar for an offering made by fire to the Lord: it is an offering for wrongdoing.
5
The priest shall burn all the fat on the altar as a food offering to the Lord. It is a repayment offering.
6 Every male among the priests may have it as food in a holy place: it is most holy.
6
Any male of the priestly families may eat it, but it must be eaten in a holy place, because it is very holy.
7 As is the sin-offering, so is the offering for wrongdoing; there is one law for them: the priest who makes the offering to take away sin, he is to have it.
7
There is one regulation that applies to both the sin offering and the repayment offering: the meat belongs to the priest who offers the sacrifice.
8 And the priest offering any man's burned offering for him, may have the skin of the burned offering which is offered by him.
8
The skin of an animal offered as a burnt offering belongs to the priest who offers the sacrifice.
9 And every meal offering which is cooked in the oven and everything made in a cooking pot or on a flat plate, is for the priest by whom it is offered.
9
Every grain offering that has been baked in an oven or prepared in a pan or on a griddle belongs to the priest who has offered it to God.
10 And every meal offering, mixed with oil or dry, is for all the sons of Aaron in equal measure.
10
But all uncooked grain offerings, whether mixed with oil or dry, belong to all the Aaronite priests and must be shared equally among them.
11 And this is the law for the peace-offerings offered to the Lord.
11
The following are the regulations for the fellowship offerings presented to the Lord.
12 If any man gives his offering as a praise-offering, then let him give with the offering, unleavened cakes mixed with oil and thin unleavened cakes covered with oil and cakes of the best meal well mixed with oil.
12
If you make this offering as a thanksgiving offering to God, you shall present, together with the animal to be sacrificed, an offering of bread made without yeast: either thick loaves made of flour mixed with olive oil or thin cakes brushed with olive oil or cakes made of flour mixed with olive oil.
13 With his peace-offering let him give cakes of leavened bread, as a praise-offering.
13
In addition, you shall offer loaves of bread baked with yeast.
14 And let him give one out of every offering to be lifted up before the Lord; that it may be for the priest who puts the blood of the peace-offering on the altar.
14
You shall present one part of each kind of bread as a special contribution to the Lord; it belongs to the priest who takes the blood of the animal and throws it against the altar.
15 And the flesh of the praise-offering is to be taken as food on the day when it is offered; no part of it may be kept till the morning.
15
The flesh of the animal must be eaten on the day it is sacrificed; none of it may be left until the next morning.
16 But if his offering is made because of an oath or given freely, it may be taken as food on the day when it is offered; and the rest may be used up on the day after:
16
If you bring a fellowship offering as fulfillment of a vow or as your own freewill offering, not all of it has to be eaten on the day it is offered, but any that is left over may be eaten on the following day.
17 But if any of the flesh of the offering is still unused on the third day, it is to be burned with fire.
17
Any meat that still remains on the third day must be burned.
18 And if any of the flesh of the peace-offering is taken as food on the third day, it will not be pleasing to God and will not be put to the account of him who gives it; it will be unclean and a cause of sin to him who takes it as food.
18
If any of it is eaten on the third day, God will not accept your offering. The offering will not be counted to your credit but will be considered unclean, and whoever eats it will suffer the consequences.
19 And flesh touched by any unclean thing may not be taken for food: it is to be burned with fire; and as for the flesh of the peace-offerings, everyone who is clean may take it as food:
19
If the meat comes into contact with anything ritually unclean, it must not be eaten, but must be burned. Any of you that are ritually clean may eat the meat,
20 But he who is unclean when he takes as food the flesh of the peace-offerings, which are the Lord's, will be cut off from his people.
20
but if any of you who are not clean eat it, you shall no longer be considered one of God's people.
21 And anyone who, after touching any unclean thing of man or an unclean beast or any unclean and disgusting thing, takes as food the flesh of the peace-offerings, which are the Lord's, will be cut off from his people.
21
Also, if you eat the meat of this offering after you have touched anything ritually unclean, whether from a person or an animal, you shall no longer be considered one of God's people.
22 And the Lord said to Moses,
22
The Lord gave Moses the following regulations
23 Say to the children of Israel: You are not to take any fat, of ox or sheep or goat, for food.
23
for the people of Israel. No fat of cattle, sheep, or goats shall be eaten.
24 And the fat of that which comes to a natural death, and the fat of that which is attacked by beasts, may be used for other purposes, but not in any way for food.
24
The fat of an animal that has died a natural death or has been killed by a wild animal must not be eaten, but it may be used for any other purpose.
25 For anyone who takes as food the fat of any beast of which men make an offering by fire to the Lord, will be cut off from his people.
25
Anyone who eats the fat of an animal that may be offered as a food offering to the Lord will no longer be considered one of God's people.
26 And you are not to take for food any blood, of bird or of beast, in any of your houses.
26
No matter where the Israelites live, they must never use the blood of birds or animals for food.
27 Whoever takes any blood for food will be cut off from his people.
27
Anyone who breaks this law will no longer be considered one of God's people.
28 And the Lord said to Moses,
28
The Lord gave Moses the following regulations
29 Say to the children of Israel: He who makes a peace-offering to the Lord, is to give an offering to the Lord out of his peace-offering:
29
for the people of Israel. When any of you offer a fellowship offering you must bring part of it as a special gift to the Lord,
30 He himself is to take to the Lord the offering made by fire, even the fat with the breast, so that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the Lord.
30
bringing it with your own hands as a food offering. You shall bring the fat of the animal with its breast and present it as a special gift to the Lord.
31 And the fat is to be burned by the priest on the altar, but the breast is for Aaron and his sons.
31
The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast shall belong to the priests.
32 And the right leg you are to give to the priest for an offering to be lifted up out of what is given for your peace-offerings.
32
The right hind leg of the animal shall be given as a special contribution
33 That man, among the sons of Aaron, by whom the blood of the peace-offering and the fat are offered, is to have the right leg for his part.
33
to the priest who offers the blood and the fat of the fellowship offering.
34 For the breast which is waved and the right leg which is lifted up on high I have taken from the children of Israel, from their peace-offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their right for ever from the children of Israel.
34
The breast of the animal is a special gift, and the right hind leg is a special contribution that the Lord has taken from the people of Israel and given to the priests. This is what the people of Israel must give to the priests for all time to come.
35 This is the holy part given to Aaron and to his sons, out of the offerings made to the Lord by fire, on the day when they were made priests before the Lord;
35
This is the part of the food offered to the Lord that was given to Aaron and his sons on the day they were ordained as priests.
36 Which the Lord said the children of Israel were to give them, on the day when he made them his priests. It is their right for ever from generation to generation.
36
On that day the Lord commanded the people of Israel to give them this part of the offering. It is a regulation that the people of Israel must obey for all time to come.
37 These are the laws for the burned offering, the meal offering, and the offering for wrongdoing; and for the making of priests, and for the giving of peace-offerings;
37
These, then, are the regulations for the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, the sin offerings, the repayment offerings, the ordination offerings, and the fellowship offerings.
38 As they were given by the Lord to Moses on Mount Sinai, on the day when the Lord gave orders to the children of Israel to make their offerings to the Lord, in the waste land of Sinai.
38
There on Mount Sinai in the desert, the Lord gave these commands to Moses on the day he told the people of Israel to make their offerings.
